the custom is zhuhai was super crowded and the ppl keep pushing and squeezing. their spirit dun lose out to singaaporeans' " kiasu-ism". haha. we are stuck dere for 2 hours plus and everyone was super tired and hungry. finally, we crossed the custom but since we are on free and easy, we dun haf a coach to fetch them. so we had to drag all our luggages to our hotel - Yindo Hotel. actually it was quite a nice place and we all stayed at the highest 28th storey. the view was not bad and the room is BIG!!! my whole family managed to squeeze in one room but each of us still had a bed to slp on. after settling down, we headed to a seafood restuarant for dinner. the ambience of the private room we had was quite good=)

anyway, we made a really gd frenz there and he is the bellboy of the hotel. he is super friendly. He helped us find a coach to bring us around to tour zhuhai and intro us to the many attractions. though he worked the night shift for the nights that we stayed in the hotel, he still made it a point to join us with our day tours by sacrificing some of his sleep time. so friendly and nice horx. he is not obliged to help us but he still did! I guess maybe this is just coz of fate and we hit off quite well quite well ba. If not for him, i tink our free and easy trip will not be so smooth sailing. tink we really owe him a big thank you!!

we went to visit the zhuhai fisher girl and the romantic love story about her, the place where there are many natural rocks, temples, sat the "open air" cable car and many more, esp the diff scenes which i will nv get to c in s'pore. one place which leaves me a deep impression is WanChai Seafood Street. it is like a market where we have to buy our own seafood and choose a restuarant and ask them to cook for us. The moment we reached that street, waitress from many various restuarants approached us and keep pulling us to their restuarant. Our newly-made frenz was mistaken as the tour guide and they keep pestering him. the waitress are really VERY VERY scary. they shout, they pulled they argue and keep making and convincing us to go. i was stunned when i c that sight and soon it got very irritating. our frenz even had to run away from them. thinking bak now, i tink the scene is really funny. haha. after that, we had to buy our own seafood. i oso played a part in bargaining and slashing the price!! hah, eh i not bad after all. managed to bargain quite some time successfully. and i quite smart and observant oso. haha, one owner tried to cheat us by telling us the wrong weight coz they use jin as a guage and not not kg. i find it weird when i took a glance at the weighing machine. then i told my aunt and they asked the owner to re-weigh it. she was reluctant but still did it. but she still insisted on her weighing, we had no choice but to ask our frenz to communicate with her. after which, she said she saw wrongly. haha, hu believe her arx, esp when we ask her weigh 3 to 4 times le. she muz tot that we are foreigners and dunno anything ba, esp we dun have any tour guide. haha!! felt so accomplished after spotting the mistake!!! haha=)

coz it is near winter time there, there isnt much things for me to shop coz most things was winter wear. so disappointing. tot i could buy lots of tinks but in the end i din buy any clothes at all. haix. but i din went home empty handed. I still managed to buy 2 bags in the end!! haha.. the weather there was not gd either. sometimes it is really hot, but sometimes it get really cold, esp when the wind blow. in the end, i got abit sick in the very first night. and the thing i hate it most is that most ppl smoke there. they even smoke in air con places and in the hotel!!! sorry but i really cant stand the smell of smoke. their smoking aggravate my flu and irritated my throat. in the end, i ended up with flu and cough and i feel a litle feverish when i return to s'pore.

some photos i took=)
